I have a set of FM5's that I had for my C5 but I sold the car last year and kept the FM5s. I tried to put them on my Z and the rears fit but the fronts didn't. They are 17s in front and 18s in the rear. I looked at them and found the center part was too small to fit over the hub center. I know the 2 cars have different offsets but it also looks like the part of the wheel has an insert held on with allen head screws. So. A few questions:

1. Is the insert thats held on by those screws be swapped for an fbody insert?
2. Should I machine the center wheel hub part to fit?
3 or should I just sell or trade them off and get the correct fbody offset?

Id hate to sell them because they have newer goodyear F1s on them (Approx 10k on them) but I am not real keen on the BFH mod on the rear or grinding on anything on the front. What say y'all?

Sell them if your against the bfh mod etc,fikse can prob get youu whatever you need or talk to 69ta, he usally has barrels etc

Actually I haven't contacted them. I figured it would be too much of a PITA to demount, ship the wheels, etc. However the more I think about it, I will just sell them to some who can use them on their C5 or is willing to do the BFH mod their car. Oh well I guess I will take some pix some and post them in the for sale section in the next few days..

Do you have a picture showing how those tires look on the wheels? Wondering if the stretch is noticable or not.

Blue Bandit

Actually they are squared off pretty nice. I do have a picture of them but they or on my home computer. Ill try to post em up here soon wbhen I get home.

Just run a small spacer on the rear and you don't need to BFH. I'm not sure on the fronts tho can you post a pic? It must be a Fikse thing because CCW's in vette sizes and offsets fit on Fbodies no problem.

Blue Bandit

Yeah, I decided that I didn't want to mess with it. I just posted up the for sale thread in the classified section a little while ago.
